Oh, here we go again. The Great Xtian Paradox, trotted out for another whirl around the dance floor by desperate believer trying to do CPR on the corpse of their 'god.'
Fucking Jesus was SOOOOO important that the priests had to break every rule in their own book to hold a trial on Passover because thy couldn't wait ONE MORE FUCKING DAY to deal with this dangerous rabble-rouser but...at the same time... he was so insignificant that no one alive at that time even bothered to take note of him.
This bravado is hilarious. You Jesus Mythicists provide some of the most outstanding entertainment value currently available online.
But a moment of seriousness here, if I may, and allow me to point out how your position is flip-flopping:
If, as we agree, Jesus was pissing off the Jewish Sanhedrin, Priests, et al, then wouldn't it be obvious that he would be considered an enemy of the Jewish people?
Now bear with me here ...
If he was an enemy of the Jewish people, including high ranking Jewish officials such as Philo- who by the way was in Egypt at the time of the crucifixion- then how can you reasonably expect a high ranking Jewish official such as Philo to use the crucifixion of Jesus as some kind of fodder against Pilate?
Think about that, because it's perfectly sensible. If the Jewish leaders wanted him dead, and crucified by Pilate, wouldn't it be a little stupid for them to complain about Pilate killing him?
Your position on this is without any merit, or any serious thought. No insult intended, of course.
Quote:See what I mean when I say I'm tired of schooling every jesus freak who comes along spouting the same old nonsense. You aren't any different than the rest....except you are brazen about editing your own stories.
There's nothing you've said here that provides any kind of schooling whatsoever. It's mere bravado, and impoverished argumentation. Again, no offense intended.
